KING'S 

PATENT WASHING APPARATUS. 



The difference between ibis Apparatus and all other washing machines 
which have ever been invented, (and there are more than a thousand that have 
been abandoned,) is, that they are all rubbing machines, their inventors having 
sought to accomplish their object by rubbing, and almost every principle of 
friction has been applied for that purpose. Now no one will dispute that rub- 
bing the dirt from clothing by force must, to some extent, injure the fabric and 
destroy the buttons ; consequently the principle on which they have founded 
their inventions was wrong, their machines were good for nothing, and are 
thrown aside as useless. My Apparatus proceeds on a principle entirely dif- 
ferent, as any one at all acquainted with its philosophy will see at a glance. 
The clothes, while undergoing the process, are alternately in steam and suda ; 
the steam being saturated with alkaline properties, penetrates the fabric and 
neutralizes the grease, while the suds removes the dirt ; this accounts for the 
great rapidity with which clothing is washed by the machine. Some assert 
that the rapidity of the operation must necessarily injure the fabric. This is 
a great error, as is apparent from the fact that the Apparatus will wash woolen 
goods, better than they can be washed by any other process. They are 
much softer than when washed by hand, and the reason of this is, that the 
operation is more quickly performed — the very argument used against it. All 
wash women are aware that the miore rapidly you wash, rinse and dry a piece 
of woolen, the softer it will be. This principle is plain enough to those who 
understand it. Woolen clothing should be thoroughly rinsed in hot water 
immediately after it is washed; by this means all the particles of alkali and 
grease are removed ; but if you suffer it to remain and cool in the dirty water, 
or expose it to the air before rinsing, the particles of matter adhere to the 
fabric, and however thoroughly it may have been washed, it will feel harsh 
when dry. I have conversed with manufacturers of woolen goods, who agree 
with me on this point; and I would here remark, that we have washed in the 
Apparatus at Belvidere Cottage more than five hundred blankets to the entire 
satisfaction of the owners. Colored fabrics frequently fade in washing, what- 
ever may be the method pursued, and it is by experiment only that this point 
can be determined. 

Experieoce proves that colors, so siniilar in appearance as not to be distin- 
guished by the eye, differ materially in this respect, the one class retaining the 
original hue and lustre, the other fading, and the colors running together. In 
the latter case, articles washed by the machine suffer less, as they undergo 
little or no friction, and are a shorter time in the water. We have washed in 
the Apparatus more than a thousand quilts of all kinds and colors, mixed and 
plain, and 1 can say with truth that very few faded, and a large proportion of 
them looked as bright after washing as when new. We find by experiment 
that brightness of color hi a fabric depends less on the quantity of coloring 
matter absorbed, than on the quality. Some articles dye the suds very deeply 



and give the impression that nearly all the coloring material must have been ex- 
tracted from the fabric, still when dry they appear much brighter than before. 
There is one rule of general application which we have found invariably 
to be correct, and of especial importance as relates to woolen and colored 
fabrics, which is, that ibey should be washed, rinsed, and dried as speedily as 
possible ; and that from all fabrics, whether white or colored, and of whatever 
material or texture, the suds should be thoroughly rinsed off as soon as they 
are washed. "White goods, composed of either linen or cotton, should be placed 
in clean cold water until it is convenient to dry them ; but woolen goods, 
•whether white or colored, and colored fabrics of every kind, should never be 
•washed unless the meana of drying them are immediately at hand.

6 

The same letters in all cases represent like parts. 

a Is a revolving boiler, the circumference of its heads projecting sufficiently 
to cover the space between it and the edge of top boiler or cap. 

6 Is a plate, with projections for the axis of boiler and packing chamber. 

c Is packing box, by which the space between pipe tZ and the axis of boiler a 
is made tight. This must be packed with flax and grease, or any other 
similar substance. 

d Is a pipe extending through the axis of boiler a and up on the inside, held 
stationary by a brace from frame i, through which pipe the boiler is filled with 
water, and the steam allowed to escape cither while the boiler is stationary or 
revolving. 

p e Are projections on the inside of revolving boiler, by which the position of 
the clothes is changed every revolution of the boiler; these projections may be 
made in any manfier best suited to the purpose. 

/ Is pipe with coupling joint to connect it with pipe d; this pipe may extend 
over and into boiler /j, the steam from which will help to heat the water in 
boiler h. Fig 8 may be used instead of pipe/; through it boiler a may be sup- 
plied with water, after which it may be turned downwards to let water out of 
the pipe, and the steam from the boiler. 

h Is boiler placed over boiler a, resting upon frame i, the sides of said boiler 
projecting below its bottom sufficient to form the upper half of flue m. This 
boiler is constructed with pipes, extending from both sides to pipe /, through 
which boiler a is supplied with water, or it may be constructed with one pipe 
from its centre. 

i Is frame which supports the boiler. This rests upon and is held fast to 
side plates of the furnace. 

k Is faucet connected with pipe/, by which to draw water from the pipes or 
from boiler h. 

m Is space between boilers, constituting flue by which both boilers are 
heated by the same fire. 

n Is pipe to conduct smoke from flue m. This pipe may be placed on the 
top as represented in the engraving. 

Is smoke pipe with chamber in it, by which the fire is conducted away 
from the boilers ; the dotted lines over said pipe represent a large damper by 
which the fire is entirely shut off' from the boilers ; this should always be shut 
when there is no water in the boilers. This damper rests on a flange on the 
inside of each end plate of furnace. 

s Is door held fast by screw or spring and made tight by frame 7. By this 
door articles are put in and taken out of boiler. 

t Is half round plate with projections for axis and handle., ; 

u Is handle by which the boiler is revolved. 

V Is faucet by v/liich the v/ater is drained from boiler a, or when turned up- 
wards it may be used to let off' surplus steam before opening door. 

w Is flange riveted on furnace under boiler a, by which water is conducted 
into tub y. 

y Is rinsing tub. This tub may be made very convenient for bathing pur- 
poses. A common wash tub will answer the same purpose for washing. 



■'^' DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 

1. Fill the top boiler with water. 

2. Fill the revolving boiler about half full. 

3. Put into the revolving boiler half pound of hard soap (cut up) or pint of 
soft soap and }£ pint Washing Liquid to every ten gallons of water, and shut 
the door tight. 

4. Build fire in the furnace. 

5. Give the boiler a few turns while heating the water. 

6. As soon as steam begins to escape from the pipe, open the door and put 
your clothes into the revolving boiler, after having rubbed soap on the most 
soiled places. 

7. Let the clothes remain in the boiler from five to ten minutes after they 
commence boiling, revolving the boiler slowly, occasionally every way. 

8. To lower the steam, before opening the door to take out the clothes, shut 
the damper over the fire, and open the small damper in the lower flue, or you 
may shut the draft. 

9. Take the clothes out into a tub, and add sufficient cold water to enable 
you to handle them, rinse them in this, then in cold water, then in your blue 
water ; if they are not very much soiled, two or three lots may be washed in 
the same suds, turning back into the round boiler the first rinsing suds, adding 
Liquid and soap in proportion as you add new water. 

10. After the water gets dirty before letting it off, (which, if there is no 
faucet, is done by turning the door downward and loosening the screw,) shut 
the large damper over the fire. 

GENERAL RULES. 

1. Always have water in the boilers before building fire, and enough in the 
top boiler to cover it above its half round bottom, and keep it so as long as 
there is any fire in the furnace. If you wish to drain the water off while there 
is fire in the furnace, shut the large damper over the fire. 

2. A larger quantity of Liquid and soap than is specified, if put in, will do no 
harm ; if the clothes are very dirty, it is advisable to put in a little more. 

3. The proportion of Liquid to soap already expressed is correct, still you 
may use more Liquid and less soap, or less Liquid and more soap in the Appa- 
ratus, according to circumstances. 

4. If washing Liquid is not at hand, you can use as a substitute common 
caustic ley. 

5. If your Apparatus is without a top boiler, you can fill the revolving boiler 
with water by funnel through the pipe ; the water in the pipe can be drained 
off by turning it downwards. If you have a stop boiler, by turning the stop cock 
j, you supply the revolving boiler with hot water. 

6. In putting up the Apparatus, let the fan shape pipe on the inside point 
upwards. 

All white clothing except woolens should, if convenient, be soaked in clean 
cold water a few hours before washing.

PRICE OF APPARATUS. 

\ For family use, from THIRTY-FIVE TO SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.^ 

For large hotels and laundries, from ONE HUNDRED TO THREE HUN- 
DRED DOLLARS. 

The lowest price for family use is made without the top boiler; if wanted, 
the top boiler can be added at any time, the price depending upon the material 
it is made of. 

The advantage of the top boiler is, that you heat by the same fire two lots of 
water at the same time. Consequently, when the water in the revolving boiler 
becomes dirty, you have in the top boiler a reservoir of hot water to continue 
the washing, otherwise it becomes necessary to wait till the water is heated 
again. 

An Apparatus, the revolving boiler of which is two feet long by two feet in 
diameter, with its appurtenances, will do as much washing as ten persons can 
do by hand in the same length of time, with less expense for fuel, soap, &c. 

We have a Machine in operation at our Washing Establishment on North 
street, between the Water Works and Greenmount, which will wash 125 
pieces of clothing in five minutes. In this Machine we have washed some of 
the finest lace curtains that would not bear to be washed by hand. 

We shall keep a small Apparatus at our store. No. 235 West Baltimore 
street, near Charles, ready for operating at all times, so that persons can see it 
tested before purchasing. 

This Apparatus being made almost entirely of copper, does not easily get 
out of order. With the first Machine manufactured by us, we have already 
washed over fifty thousand pieces of clothing, and it is just as good as when 
first made. 

Persons wishing Machines, Washing Liquid, Patent Rights, or any 
information in regard to either, will direct their letters, J. T. KING 
& CO., No. 235 Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md., and they will be 
promptly answered. 

Young men with small capital and good business habits, wishing 
to travel, if active, honest and persevering, we can place them in a 
position to make money, and form a business acquaintance which will 
prove beneficial. We intend to make New York our permanent 
place of business, and shall establish an agency in all the large cities. 
No one need apply for the situation except he will devote his whole 
time to the business, is honest, candid, persevering, not afraid to work, 
and has sulficient capital to carry it on.

Neutralizing the oily particles of matter, leaving the dirt free to be removed 
without hard Rubbing. 



DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 

1st. Soak your Clothes the night before Washing in clean cold water. 

2nd. Put 4 buckets full or 10 gallons of water into a common boiler, 
then put in half pound of hard or a pint of soft soap, and j pint of this 
liquid, stir and boil the mixture until the soap is dissolved. 

3rd. Wring the clothes out of the water in which they have been soak- 
ing and rub soap upon the most soiled places, and place them loosely in the 
mixture, and boil thirty minutes, stir.ng them occasionally. 

4ih. Remove, and rinse them thorouglily, immediately after boiling, and 
then blue them, and your work will be done to perfection. 

5ih. In case the clothes are very much soiled they may be slightly rubbed 
before rinsing, otherwise a good rinsing is all that is required. You can 
boil two or three lota in the same mixture; if more water is added, put in 
liquid and soap in proportion. 

6th. For all common purposes of washing and cleaning, use a little soap, 
and a half gill of the iVlagnetic Liquid to a bucket full of water. 

When used in connection with J^oap it has no equal in cleaning Windows, 
Paint, Marble, Oil Cloth, washing Dishes of all kinds, cleaning Milk Uten- 
siU, scrubbing Floors, &c. Warranted not to injure any thing.

Entered according to the Act of Congras in ihe year 1851. by J. T. KING, in the Clerk's 
Office of Dist. Court of Md. 



By the use of this Liquid in a common boiler, a family washing can be done 
in about an hour. It will not injure the finest fabric. This is a truth which 
no one who understands the principle upon which it operates will attempt to 
dispute. There are now in this city over a thousand families that use it regu- 
larly, who will not only certify that it does not injure the fabric, but that 
clothing will wear much longer than when washed by the old process, besides 
saving the time and trouble of sewing on buttons rubbed off on the wash-board. 
^ Our friends have tried a great niany experiments with the Lic^uid, almost 



10 



every kind of garment now in use has been washed with it, and in no instance 
that we know of has it ever proved injurious. We are more anxious than 
others can be to ascertain whether it is injurious in any instance, and therefore 
have given it away for tliat purpose ; and we always feel ihankful to those who 
will take the trouble to test it, and report !o us the result. 

Our confidence that it will not injure clothing is based on the fact that we 
have subjected it to severe tests. We have placed white cotton and linen gar- 
ments in the pure Liquid, and allowed them to remain forty-eight hours; then 
on being taken out and rinsed, they were found not to have sustained the 
slightest injury. When we consider further that for washing purposes we use 
only a half pint in ten gallons of water — that is, one hundred and sixty parts 
of water to one part of the Liquid — the idea of injury to the fabric cannot for 
a moment be entertained. 

Another most convincing proof of its perfectly harmless character is, that it 
will not injure the skin. Caustic properties of sufficient power to act on the 
texture of clothes, would certainly manifest themselves on an application of 
the Liquid to the ski^ ; but so far is this from being the case, that a constant 
use of it for many months in washing the hands and face has proved it to pro- 
du e beneficial results. When u-sed for this purpose, the proportions are 
about half a gill of the Liquid to a basin of water — soap to be applied as usual. 
These facts, in connection with our knowledge that the ingredients of which it 
is composed are entirely harmless, enables us to say positively that it will not 
injure any substance to which it may be applied for cleansing purposes. 

A gentleman from Ohio related to us the following which transpired in his 
store when he received the Washing Liquid. The village Doctor happened in 

just as he opened the box. Good morning, Mr. . Good morning, Doctor. 

Another humbug! After considerable discussion with the Doctor, who was 
one of those men who adhere tenaciously to an opinion when once expressed, 

Mr. convinced him that it would save a great deal of hard rubbing, and 

that the cloth would therefore wear much longer than when washed by 
the old process. Well, says the Doctor, all that may be very true, but 
you cannot get people to use it, for it must be injurious to the hands. While 

they were discussing this point, one of Mr. 's customers came in, a good 

honest, hard working man, whose hands were black with dirt. Mr. , why 

don't you wash your hands? The fact is, Mr. , I am ashamed to say, I 

have not washed them for a long time, and the reason is that washing always 
makes them sore. Now, Doctor, we have a chance to test it, at the same time 
filling;a basin with water, and putting in about a gill of the Washing Liquid. 
Mr. , agreeing with the Doctor, was afraid to try it; but at last was pre- 
vailed upon by Mr. , who promised to pay him good wages for every day's 

work he might lose on account of it. At first the man dipped his fingers into 
the basin and rubbed a little down the back of his hand, which left a white 
streak. After doing this a number of times, he took courage and put both 
hands in, and with little soap the dirt soon disappeared, leaving his hands white 
and clean. Mr. gave him a bottle, with instructions to wash with it regu- 
larly night and morning, and report to him the result. Not long after this 
occurrence, Mr, met the man and asked him how he liked the Washing 



n 

LIquul. First rale, was In's reply. He also said his hands wcro now perfectly 

well. Mr. has since been a good customer for the Liquid, not only for 

washing face and hands, but to do his family washing. 

The Doctor was obliged to acknowledge its good qualities, but could not 
give up hio favorite word humbug. 

Tiie principle heretofore explained in the application of the Liquid to the 
clothing, was operative in cleansing and curing the man's hands, it penetrated 
the pores of the sld.n, and dissolved the particles of dirt lodged there, which 
had previously irritated and prevented them from healing. A spoonful of the 
Liquid may be draidc without the least injury. We have often drank it and 
have given it to others with beneficial effects. It will give immediate relief in 
cases of acid stomach. A spoonful of it has been put into green peas while 
cooking, and the parties say it made them look and taste much better than 
usual. We do not mention this to induce people to use it as a medicine, or for 
cooking purposes, but to show tliat when used in small quantities it is not inju- 
rious to the human system. We have heard persons say in objection to the 
use of the Liquid, not from having tested its qualities, but from what they 
thought to be a correct principle, "that any preparation that removes the dirt 
so expeditiously as this, must injure the fabric." This is without doubt true 
in some instances, that is, an article may be prepared that will take off the dirt 
and at the same time injure the fabric ; and we have no doubt that there are a 
great many preparations in market, used for washing purposes, that will do 
this; but the remark is in no respect applicable to our own. We do not claim 
that, by the use of this, we can make an old worn out garment into a new one, 
or, that by it we change the immutable laws of nature, by which every thing 
undergoes a change ; garments will wear out, and we do not pietend to pre- 
vent it ; but we do claim that an article will wear a third longer by the use of 
this preparation. All who are acquainted with v/ashing know that the hardest 
articles to wash are those that are soiled by perspiration, and the reason of this 
is, that the dirt is absorbed into the fabric and held fast by the oily particles 
of matter from the system. This Liquid being an alkali, has an affinity for the 
grease, which is thoroughly extracted, and the dirt left free to be removed 
without hard rubbing. Alkali and grease are used to make soap, and no one 
objects to the use of soap as injurious; now as the most important ingredient 
contained in the Liquid enters into the composition of soap, it is clear that any 
objection urged against the one would be equally applicable to the other. It 
may be used advantageously in all cases where soap is required. It cleans all 
kinds of metals, and for cleaning printers' types it has no equal. 

To the reasonable and intelligent, enough has been urged to satisfy them that 
the article we recommend is no humbug ; and we shall leave the subject with 
the request to those who prejudge and oppose all improvements, that when 
convinced of their error with regard to this matter, they will have the candor 
to acknowledge it, and thereby aid in giving that relief to the poor wash-woman 
which this discovery is so eminently calculated to bestow. The time thus 
redeemed may be used by her in the improvement of those faculties mercifully 
conferred on all without distinction of condition, and the interests of humanity 
and religion be thereby effectually promoted.

Baltimore, December 2, 1851, 
We the undersigned having seen J. T. King's Patent Washing Apparatus in 
operation at the Fair of the Maryland Institiite, have no hesitation in saying 
that it will accomplish all he claims for it. The most soiled clothing were put 
into the Apparatus, and in five minutes came out perfectly clean and looked 
much whiter than when washed by the old process.

From the Baltimore Jlmerican, ^November 15, 1851. 
" In the upper machine room of the hall we notice in operation one of the 
washing machines recently invented by Mr. J. T. King of this city, an appa- 
ratus which to us appears to be one of great utility, and entirely free from the 
many faults which have heretofore caused such universal prejudice against 
washing machines. The machine is exceedingly simple in its construction, 
easily managed, and is based upon correct principles. To describe briefly the 
one on exhibition, (which is on a large scale and sufficient for the purpose of a 
large hotel,) we may say it consists of a copper cylindrical boiler, which is so 
arranged as to revolve over a furnace, the flue of which passes entirely around 
the boiler. In washing, the boiler is filled half full of hot water strongly im- 
pregnated with common soap — the clothes are then put in and the opening in 
the end of the boiler fastened up so as to render it water tight, an escape for 
the excess of steam in the upper half of the boiler not occupied by the water 
and clothes, being of course provided to prevent its bursting. 
^ *• The boiler is then revolved moderately backward and forward, by which 



13 

action the projections on the inside of the boiler (which we should hate men- 
tioned before,) moves the clothes first into the steam and then into the suds. 
No matter how soiled the clothes may be, in from three to five minutes this ope- 
ration cleanses them perfectly, and as effectually as tlie most vigorous and 
industrious laundress could render them. The operation as described, was 
performed at the Fair in the presence of several of our most extensive hotel 
proprietors and experienced housekeepers, all of whom expressed the fullest 
satisfaction at the manner in which the work was performed. The philosophy 
of the apparatus is readily comprehended. The most difficult garments to 
wash, as every housekeeper knows, are those that are soiled with any oily or 
greasy substance ; and the powerful action of steam, which by this machine is 
brought directly in contact with and made to penetrate every thread of clothing, 
instantly dissolves and separates the greasy particles, and thus insures the 
thorough cleansing of the article. We w^ould call the especial attention of 
housekeepers, and hotel keepers particularly, to this washing machine." 

" Washington, June 14, 1851. 

' Mr. J. T. King, a dry goods dealer of Baltimore, having a little leisure 
time, applied himself to the invention of a washing machine. A fortnight ago 
he came to this city, where he is favorably known, bringing with him a model 
and a full sized apparatus. His object was to secure a patent. While await- 
ing the transaction of his business by the examiners in the Patent Office, he set 
up his machine at the house of a friend, in a certain neighborhood in this me- 
tropolis, where he knew that his skill was certain to be appreciated. The 
arrragements are extremely simple, embracing a small steam boiler, the water 
is heated by means of a furnace beneath it. A few spoonfuls of his popular 
Liquid produce rich suds ; and the turning of the crank completes the opera- 
tion. It was astonishing to witness the rapidity with which the work was done, 
fifty small pieces of clothing were cleansed in about five minutes! We may 
safely say that fifteen hundred pieces can he washed during ten hours. But 
this, of course, is independent of the wringing and rinsing. 

♦« Mr. King extended an invitation to some of his lady acquaintances to send 
him articles to be washed. As the terms, gratis, were so reasonable, it was 
not long before he had piles of bed quilts, blankets, sheets, in fact almost every 
woven thing, which, by wear, requires cleaning. And such a washing and 
rinsing was never before known in that locality; and all our citizens would 
have thought so, too, if they had chanced to see the many colored and many 
shaped articles which were spread on the fences, wood-houses, and grass plats, 
and which dangled on the heavy-laden clothes line, the old song, ' There's nae 
luck about the house upon a washing day,' did not apply on that occasion." — 
Baltimore Clipper. 

The following is from Brown's new marble hotel, Washington, one of the 
cleanest, best arranged, and most magnificent hotels of its size in the United 
States, the proprietors of which are justly celebrated for their hospitality and 
kindness to strangers. The secret of their success is that ihey patronize the 
improvements of the age, and never count the cost of an article which will 
promote the comfort of their guests.

Washington, December 1, 1851. 

J. T. Ktng — Sir : Having witnessed, with Mrs. Brown, at the Fair of the 
Maryland Institute, the operations of your Washing Apparatus, the astonishing 
rapidity with which you washed a large quantity of the most soiled clothing 
with scarcely any lahor, and apparently without the least injury to the finest 
fabric, has induced us to give one a trial. When you come to Washington I 
should be pleased to make arrangements with you to put one up in our hotel. 
The principle upon which it operates is so simple, and it is so easily managed, 
that I have no doubt you could sell a large number in this city. 

The can of Washing Liquid you sent us has been fairly tested, and Mrs. 
Brown says it is a first rate article, and will save a great deal of hard rub- 
bing. Yours, &c. MARSHALL BROV/N, 

Brown's Hotel. 

FrSn a Philadelphia paper, September 4, 1851. 
King's Magnetic Washing Liqiiid, as sold by Messrs. Ambslcr & SchafTlcr, 
at No. 225 South Fifth street, 2d door below Lombard, is possessed of all the 
virtues that they claim for it. Why will people stand at their tubs for hours 
and work themselves to death, when by calling at No. 225 south Fifth street, 
they can get an article, for a mere trifle, which will save four-fifths of the hard 
labor, and give the clothes a purer whiteness, ihan can be accomplished by any 
other means } Tiiis fluid is a perfect godsend to washer-women, and only wants 
one trial to insure success. It is a bad plan to pronounce all such things hum- 
bugs ; there are no doubt many shameful impostors, but there are also many 
that are honest, and you ought not to form an opinion until you try them. Wo 
will answer for the genuineness of this article. 

Messrs, J. T. King & Co.— Gents. : In recommending your Washing Liquid, 
you are at liberty to use my name, for it has been fairly tested at my house, 
and you can hardly say any thing in its favor that it does not deserve. The prin- 
ciple upon which it operates is correct. It makes the clothes very white, and 
I have every reason to believe they will wear much longer than when washed 
by the old process. It has entirely changed my family's washing arrange- 
ments • before using the Liquid, it took our wash-woman the most of the week 
to get through washing; but now, by using the Liquid, on Tuesday evening 
every thing is washed, starched and ironed, ready for use. Your Washing Ap- 
paratus 1 believe to be a good invention, and have no doubt of its success. 
Yours, with respect, 

EDWARD S. NORRIS, 237 Baltimore street. 

Messrs. J. T. King & Co. — Gents. : It gives me pleasure to state that T have 
seen a number of your Washing Machines in operation, and am pleased to say 
that I consider that they will perform all that is claimed for them as to speed 
and efficiency. They are a valuable invention, and must in time be in the 
hands of every family who wish to keep up with the spirit and improvements of 
the age, both in the saving of time and money. Yours truly, &c., 

JAMES B. EDWARDS, No. 22 Charles street.

Baltimore, December 28, 1851. 
Mr. King — I take pleasure in recommending your Washing Liquid and 
Washing Apparatus to my friends and acquaintance. You are aware that all 
the clothing at my house has been washed with the Washing Liquid, either in 
a plain boiler or the Apparatus, ever since you first put it up, nearly a year 
ago; and a great many of my friends have used it, and all are pleased with it; 
therefore what I say of it I say knowingly. The Liquid, if properly used, 
makes the clothes look much whiter, saves a great deal of time and hard work, 
and I know from experience that they will wear much longer tlian when washed 
by hand or the wash-board, or by any other process of rubbing. Those you 
have washed for us in the Apparatus have given great satisfaction. Washing, 
I believe, is the hardest work woman has ever to do; and when I think of the 
incessant toil of the poor wash-AVomen from morning till night, it not only 
affords me pleasure to recommend your Washing Liquid and Apparatus, but I 
consider it a duty I owe to suffering humanity. 

M. C. GUEST, 193 West Lombard street. 

Frkderick, December 29, 1851. 
J. T. King & Co. — I have sent the can back for ten gallons of your Wash- 
ing Liquid, which you will please fill and send up I am pleased that your 
fluid meets with such good sale, especially when it has to contend with so 
many other kinds. Yours respectfully, 

GEORGE J. FISCHER. 

Washington, January 5, 1852. 
Messrs. James T. King & Co. — Gents. : Will you please send us twenty 
gallons mere of your "Magnetic Liquid," that great desideratum in the cleans- 
ing process, which it appears to have been reserved for you to discover. 
We have been engaged in the sale of your Liquid ever since you discovered it, 
and with one single exception, it has given universal satisfaction ; and on the 
score of economy it is much cheaper, we believe, than any of the old methods, 
such as soda and the like — besides its being so expeditious in its effect. 

Yours truly, T. W. JOHNSON & CO. 

J. W. GUEST & CO., our General Agents, will sell the Liquid, Washing 
Apparatus, or the Clothes Drying Machines, wholesale or retail, at our prices. 
Their office is No. 17U West Lombard street, two doors above Hanover street, 
Baltimore, Md. All orders addressed to them will be promptly attended to. 

KING'S PATENT WASHING APPARATUS. 

In addition to its application for washing, it is the best boiler ever invented 
for steaming purposes. Farmers can make it very convenient for steaming 
food for cattle ; it is also useful to wheelwrights to steam wood. One great 
advantage in it, when used for this purpose is, that steam can be created almost 
immediately; this is done by putting a small quantity of water into the boiler 
and turning it. As soon as you stop turning, shut the damper over the fire to 
prevent injury to the boiler. The steam escapes through the pipe, which may 
be conducted into any vessel or box where it may be required.
